Electrolytes (Lecture) Flashcards
concentration is?
osmolality
composition is
(electrolyte concentration)
compensation can?
over produced and good for short term
plasma is where?
within capillaries
interstital fluid is>
all the rest of fluid surrounding
what are some solutes in cell>
Mg+, K+, proteins, Na+, Cl-,
intracellular fluid has more?
phosphate, potassium
what amount if mL should u be drinking?
2300 mL/day
what regulates fluid intake?
thirst
when to increase fluid intake?
less urination, thirst, headaches
when do we produce output?
breathing, sweat
pshyological factor for thirst mechanism
headache
where are the thirst regulators are?
hypothamalmus
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system does?
regulate BP by influcing Na+ and H2O–> excreted in urine
Atrial natriuretic peptides
opposite of aldosterone–>stops ADH, increases loss of Na+
ADH is trying to?
save fluid
ADH does?
regulates osmolality of body fluids
RAAS system goal?
-holds on (constricts fluids)—>back to kidneys
ANPS (atrial natriuretic peptide) does?
makes u pee (knows that heart is stretches too much (pees: releases Na+ and H2O)
what is a sensible fluid loss?
sweating, is measurable (u can see) ex: urinary, vomiting
Insensible fluid loss is?
can’t see, hard to measure, continuous ex: evaporation, lungs
what are the 2 types of fluid imbalances?
extracellar, osmolality
extracellular volume imbalances is?
deficit, excess
osmolality fluid imbalance example?
hypernatremia (h2O deficit)–> hypertonic
hyponatremia, “H2O excess”–> hypotonic
